Sterling Heights — One person is dead after a sports utility vehicle suspected in a break-in and car theft at a Romeo dealership crashed Thursday night in Sterling Heights, the Macomb County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies were called at about 11 p.m. Thursday to the Jim Riehl’s Friendly Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram at 64600 Van Dyke in Romeo for a report of vehicles driving recklessly, according to authorities.
As a deputy arrived, a red 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee sped out of the business' lot. The SUV sped north on Van Dyke, then east on 30 Mile and eventually south on the M-53 bypass, officials said. The deputy pursued, but stopped his chase at M-53 and 26 Mile.
